• Proficiency in MS Office products
• Mastery of MS Excel and any CAD platform is required - if you are "not great" with excel, do not apply!

Must have a very good social presence; we are very experienced in litigation and will require someone with exceptional ability to speak in front of an audience and maintain their composure under extreme pressure (trial testimony). The interview process will include a "cross examination" portion that most typical engineers will fail.
